In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan’s left-arm pace sensation Mohammad Amir has officially announced his retirement from international cricket. The 31-year-old made the announcement via social media, expressing gratitude to his fans and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for their support throughout his career.
Amir stated, “After much thought, I have decided to retire from international cricket. It has been an incredible journey, but it’s time for me to step away and focus on other aspects of my life and career.”
Amir, known for his fiery spells and match-winning performances, made his international debut in 2009. Despite facing a significant setback during the 2010 spot-fixing scandal, he made a triumphant return to the sport and played a key role in Pakistan’s 2017 ICC Champions Trophy victory.
Fans and cricket experts are reacting to the news with mixed emotions, praising his contributions to Pakistan cricket while expressing sadness at his departure.
